Introdution

These fantastic and unique aqua animals are intriguing with their crazy colors and their interesting sizes. The lobster has a fantastic body structure, life cycle, and diet. The lobster is full with scientific facts that can be completely crazy.

Body structure

As you may have heard about the lobster facts about body structure and appearance you may learn from a fact that you never heard before. Lobsters will grow to an average weight of three pounds, but they can live up to 100 years of age and even get to larger sizes! Lobsters are very close relatives of the hermit crab. Some features of the lobster that are special about them are that one of the claws of the lobster is the crusher claw and the other claw is its mouth so the crusher claw crushes the lobsters food and feeds its prey to the mouth. Another fascinating feature of the lobster is that the lobster’s broad abdomens are usually tucked under their bodies but can extend for backward swimming. Some lobsters can have unusual color such as red, blue, green, purple, and yellow. Sometimes the squat lobsters are very bright in color.

life cycle

This water breathing animal has a big life cycle that it is shocking to know. The lobster produces about 8,000 eggs. It is hard to believe, but a 9 pound female lobster can carry more than 100,000 eggs! The reproductive steps of the lobster are that the lobster starts off as a tiny organism which is known as a plankton. After growing for a month, the lobster will sink to the bottom of the sea floor. It will spend most of its time hiding from predators. As the lobster grows it will lose its old shell and will grow a new shell. When the lobster loses its old shell it will eat that old shell while growing the new shell. There are many predators of the lobster such as fish ( especially cod ), octopi, other lobsters, and and people.

diet

These unique creatures have big diets that can be amazing to know about. The lobster is a carnivore and most lobsters are nocturnal and can eat at night. Lobsters eat crabs, clams, worms, snails, mussels, flounder, other lobsters, and starfish. The lobsters obtains its food by one of its claws called a crusher claw which when it crushes its food so it can eat its prey. The other claw is its mouth so the crusher claw feed its prey.

History

While considered a New England phenomenon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition,[3] they are increasingly sold throughout the United States.[2]According to food historians, Amish women would bake these desserts (known as hucklebucks, or creamy turtles at the time) and put them in farmers' lunch pails or lunch boxes. When farmers would find the treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!"[2] It is thought that the original Whoopie pies may have been made from cake batter leftovers.[4]

The world's largest whoopie pie was created in South Portland, Maine on March 26, 2011, weighing in at 1,062 pounds.[6] Pieces of the giant whoopie pie were sold and the money was used to send Maine-made whoopie pies to soldiers serving overseas.[6] The previous record holder, from Pennsylvania, weighed 200 pounds.[6]
